Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should the solar panels of a solar power system be cleaned? As long as the solar panels are mounted with a pitch of 10-15 degrees, most of the dirt should be washed of by the rain. When the solar modules are particularly dirty, and no rain is expected due to a dry season, it can be smart to clean the solar panels though.
